Thank you to MutualArt for writing a feature story on The Bennett Collection. The story features eight different artworks and shares the story behind the creation of The Bennett Collection and The Bennett Prize.
Excerpt from the article:
##
Dr. Elaine Melotti Schmidt and Steven Bennett’s postmodern collection of female figurative realists stands among the most important of the early 21st century as a spectacular monument to the rise to glory of some superb women painters. The Bennett Collection was conceived by the couple in 2009 and has grown to include masterpieces by some of the greatest living representational artists of this era – and some great names from art history, too – in a vibrant range of styles and subjects, unified by the struggle of their gender to be treated equally.
